I've struggled to be in the mood for a shave this last week. Was finally in the mood this evening and took the time to get a much needed head shave in. I desperately needed this head shave. While it is only a week's worth of growth, it certainly makes the shave far less efficient even with the most aggressive razor I use up on the dome.

So my wife tried her hand at a quick hot process soap this weekend using some of the scents that she recently purchased. Used her soap, and it builds quite a good lather. Definitely one to continue trying, although we might need to up the scent volume in the soap next time. I do like Bay Rum, another scent I will purchase in my next round of purchases.

Surprisingly good bowl lather using this Turkish bowl my daughter bought.
The hand painted design is all raised which makes an excellent lather bowl

SoCal Hipster has a lovely scent off the puck - A tropical fruit salad bowl
Notes: Pink peppercorn, pineapple, banana, passion fruit, mango, cade, oakmoss, sandalwood, cedarwood and musk.

Gillette Aristocrat #15 and Aussie Spoiler match made in shaver heaven = 2 x WTG = DFS
 
where from? How does cells rate to say tabac?
Cella red rate very similar to the Tabac tallow quality lather, but, Cella isn’t a hard soap like a triple mill. The lather quality and slickness is excellent when you dial in correctly.

Brush: Vintage butterscotch Simpson shaving brush
Soap/Cream: APR Fenchurch shaving soap
Razor: Vintage Gillette L1 Slim Adjustable (6)
Blade: Iridium Super (1)

Sample September Shave

IMG-20210912-213413.jpg

Brush: TF Customs Blue & Gold 30mm Tuxedo P&C 2019 Charity Auction
Razor: Smart Helix Apollo H 0.50mm Mild Plate
Blade: Wizamet SI (4)
Pre: Shower
Soap: Wickams 1912 Russian Leather sample
Post: Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm // Phoenix & Beau Spitfire solid cologne
WTG, ATG, Touchups = DFS+

A really comfortable and efficient shave with minimal touchups. The leather scent is masculine and pairs well with the sweetness from the solid cologne. The brush is hands down my favourite synthetic as the fit and finish is top quality and tuxedo knot is great for whipping up some quick lather...

Stay Safe & Happy Shaves!
